According to reliable sources, WESH-TV has called Clint Curtis the winner of the FL-24 Democratic primary by a landslide. Curtis had 12,652 votes, compared to 7,990 for Michaud: That's 61% for the vote-rigging whistleblower, with 208 out of 257 precincts reporting, or or 81%.

According to other reliable sources, a reporter from the Daytona Beach News-Journal called Clint and asked whether he wanted to make a statement. Clint said:

It's looking good and we are glad to see it, but I don't want to make my statement yet.

I see no reason to declare victory until every vote in Florida's 24th is counted. The voters deserve that much.

I hadn't planned to either concede or declare victory tonight. We've campaigned for six months. We can wait another 6 hours or 6 days if we have to. Each vote is that precious.

Earlier tonight I mentioned that I wouldn't be disappointed if 6 or 7 green-and-yellow bloggers grabbed screen captures of this page every so often, as the night went on... and we've been trying to keep up ... but the Florida website isn't doing much ... and the TV station seems to have more recent numbers than the website does ... but we'll keep watching the website as well.

Brad is out of computer range but he's following along on his cell phone. He told me to give everyone his regards. I told him to take good care of himself and especially of Desi. And that last bit can be from all of us...

As I mentioned, the State of Florida election returns webpage hasn't been updated lately but we are keeping an eye on it in any case ... as we have been doing all evening ... and [drum roll] now for the numbers ... we'll do this in blogological order, i.e. with the most recent results at the top:

I have been praying for you Clinton Curtis... very hard. I have been... praying for you.. since December 6th, 2004. Thank you for your integrity. Thank you for your courage. Thank you for your tenacity.

And a Million Thank yous.... to Brad Friedman of Brad blog.

I will pray for you every night until I see you sitting in the great House of Representatives... in our Nation's capital. Bless you.

Harris is a freak. We do have some real weird people down here in Florida. I think the heat shrinks their brains. Harris acts like a prostitute if she sticks her chest out anymore she'll bust her spine.

Dear Diary,
Today was a good day. Though it nearly killed me, a very good day. Here's what I did:
3:30AM - woke up, doused self in sunscreen, loaded car with supplies & cooler, and headed out.
4:00AM - arrived at 24-hour Walmart, purchased posterboards, markers, and a black cowboy hat.
6:00AM - After 90 mile drive, arrived at polling place. Set up table, made big sign saying, "Make sure your vote counts here", and affixed it to front of table, and attached large umbrella to table. Set out Clint Curtis signs, and was ready for business by 6:30. Spent next half-hour wishing I'd slept another half hour.
7:00AM - 7:00PM - This time was spent running around the parking lot to every arriving car, and giving the voters information on Clint Curtis, and attempting to sign them up on the votenow2006 website. Though baked by the sun, and soaked by the rain, we continued our mission all day.
7:05PM - Polls closed - watched closing until results were tabulated - Clint won in this precinct by 111-38. Over the course of the day we were successful in getting enough people signed up on votenow2006 that had something flipped the vote to a 51-49 Michaud victory, we'd have been able to PROVE it was fixed. Thankfully that was not the case. Still, we were extremely successful.
7:30PM - Leave for party at Broward DEC, 50 miles south.
8:45PM - Arrived at party!!! Participated in much jubliation as results came in on the races.
9:00PM - Clint arrives, and says to me, "What's with the hat?"
11:45PM - Arrived home - showered
12:00PM - Logged on Bradblog to relate my jubilation!!! I'm going to bed now, but though I'm exhaused I'm extremely excited about living to fight on in November. And that guy who said he'd run naked down the street if Clint won an election - well... I'm waiting to see the video!

Early congrats to Clint Curtis
With the measures Clint has put in place Repugs would be to scared to rig the vote, especially since the polling was pretty clear. Apparantly he needs a lot more phone volunteers to make free calls (from any state I think) for the race against Feeney. Don't have a home line. Am on mobile data and cellphone but if that changes will volunteer straight away if international is also free.
All Dem ( and even republicans especially in the Primaries )candidates should now copy Clints plan to verify the vote, making it very difficult for any rigging to go ahead unoticed.

I suspect that Feeney's playing nice because he is worried about Clint Curtis and what Curtis can say about Feeney's shananigans. It may be his strategy to try to make it appear to be such a clean and above board campaign from his side that Clint will look like the bad guy and dirty campaigner if he introduces negative stuff about Feeney.

Anybody out there think this is a possibility and, if so, that it could be effective?

The "Loony Left" meme is coming to the Feeney campaign soon, personal destruction is all they know

"Krazy Kat" Harris was already "Librulizing" Nelson at her victory ? speech on TV down here, Nelson is pretty far Right of center IMO just by looking at his voting record, Krazy has her work cut out for her, it will be interesting to watch her self destruct

Hey Dredd, where'd you go ? you out lurking ?
Or just tired of the fluff
I miss your opine onions

...and go look at Hopsickers stuff about "Cocaine One", the latest is pretty good Link

ROVE CAUGHT RED HANDED BRIBING LIEBERMAN WITH MILLIONS IN GOP CASH TO SUPPORT THE WAR.

Despite a hack attack that requires you to scroll a third of the way down the page to view it, you'll want to see "RoveTheTerrorist's" comments regarding the evidence of Joe Lieberman's Spying for the GOP and AIPAC, fetaured here:

Congratulations Clint, From Wisconsin! Now the work begins... Thanks Sally for answering the question on whether out-of-staters can make calls: I will for Clint. And now, although I can't offer much, I will send something to his campaign. Brad (et al) should be proud! David Francis, can you come up to Wisco in November?

I want to send out questionairres to the 6,000+ people who voted for Michaud, and ask them "why"? Does anyone have their addresses?

Also, just because Clint won, STILL check out discrepancies between the pre-election polls (etc...) and the final count. Kerry won the Pa. exit polls by 9%, and the final count there was a 6% swing towards Bush (that's a helluva lotta popular votes for Bush!!!).

"The news networks don't just report election news, they create it. But do they also conspire to control election results? Voter News Service (VNS) is a top-secret private consortium owned by ABC News, The Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News. It's current headquarters is in Brooklyn, New York. It's been around (under different names) since 1964. It's the only company whose exit poll results are used by the news media to announce the "projected" winners in races for the president, U.S. House and Senate, state governors, and select races."

Ah, so! Now, when Feeney flips the votes in his own favor he'll say yeah, Clint, now you're moaning and pissing, but not a word from you when you won so handily in the primary. I hope Clint takes a closee look at what happened this time around and is more than ready for the main event in November. Can those of us outside the country make toll-free calls too? I'd love to pitch in, and if I didn't hold bad debts I wouldn't be holding no debts at all...

Now, Clint? Will you bring up during your debates with Feeney, how he asked you to write a vote-rigging program? Get the popcorn out for these debates, start contributing to Clint, and watch if the news gatekeepers keep these debates out of the newspapers/TV/radio. Like they keep out 9/11 truth movement & most e-vote fraud.

How did Harris win her primary. Maybe shes a wiz with a PDA. Not likely, but she may have a corrupt accomplice because she's rich. Now people are in the know about how easy it is to Hack the machines all sorts of stuff might start to happen even in the primaries.

Washington may have distanced themselves from Katherine publicly but could it be that behind the scenes she has so much dirt on them they had no choice but to do a little rigging in her favour?

“Clint Curtis is the craziest man in America. Serious times demand serious leaders and Curtis is not even in the same solar system as the rest of us. With tinfoil hats in hand, black helicopters swarming, and purple Martians landing, this election promises to be more entertaining than Saturday morning cartoons.

“I have worked hard for everyone in our district, and I’m confident that rational Democrats will come out and support me. With rational Democrats supporting me, this will be an 80-20 election,” said Feeney.

Re my last post. It does pay to read up a little before posting on something I'm completely ignorant about. K. Harris had a very weak opponent hence the win which you all probably know. Maybe they have a job for me in the MSM?

Plunger #41, Thanks for that link and explanation. Very interesting post, and boy what a hit job from the "trolls". Rove the terrorist has lots more then one post on that thread and there is a boatload of info and links.

Plunger #41 I forgot to say that your link in not operable it comes up that there is no such page on Huffpo. You have to go into the news and search for this story and then you can access it. I saved it to my favorites so I can peruse all those links at my Leisure.... HAHA!

I'd like to give my thanks for comments related to my previous post, but I must also object to any undue praise. I am not "The Man". That title belongs to Clint Curtis! Further, I was but one of a large number of dedicated volunteers who spent yesterday at random places in the district, working to ensure that if tampering took place we'd be able to catch it. Lots of people have put in lots of hours to make this happen, and I'm just proud to have contributed to a small part of it. Now the real work begins, as we face in two months an election against a much better funded, and extremely crafty opponent. I'm doing what I can to help, and so should everyone. Come join us, and support the effort to elect Clint Curtis!
P.S. There was zero mention of Clint's victory in today's Orlando Sentinel newspaper, which of course listed the results of all the other local races.

That does explain the 0% in precincts reporting, depending on the EMS system used, and how it is set up. In a typical election, each machine assigned to a precinct must have its numbers in for the precinct counter to increment. Now if absentees are set up as a virtual "machine" in each precinct, then no precinct will be "in" until its absentees are. There are ways around this, but if this is the way this particular county set up its files, then that's pretty much the explanation.

Big Dan - there is definitely a black-out on Clint. Bloggers, do what you do best. Flood the internet chats and communities. Drop his name everywhere.

Don't just sit there!

And, anyone who wants to help, doing phone calls etc, sit tight. Clint's team has pulled this primary off by speaking at all the dem clubs and speaking to UCF students and the one sided debate on PBS. But the General against Feeney will be harder. Feeney is running scared, but has laid his 100 page binder out to all media units with Clint dis-information...
